Monday’s lunch menu at Cafe BonBon
The serving area is covered in the most wonderful
looking cakes and some very interesting produce and wines, with the coffee
machine behind it
The charming rustic dining room with the long
centre table laid for our party, covered produce to try, a very special
selection of bread baked in the restaurant and goodie bags for each of us
It has a beautiful vaulted thatched roof and lots
of art on all the walls
A view of the garden which will be nice to sit in
when the weather improves
The restaurant also has another charming room at
the back. This would make a very nice venue for a small country wedding or
other celebration
We hear from the manageress about their food and
produce
And meet their young chef Tijn (Constantijn)
Handek
who told us about his passion for food and using
local produce
The stunning selection of breads for us to try
One has a picture of the farm’s Rooster, Hendrik,
on the bread
Farm butter, plum chutney and herb butter
makataan konfyt, citrus relish and a shimeji
mushroom relish
Preserved green figs, and two other relishes
And three more
We drank some 2012 Rosatre Rosé with the Thai curry and Boekenhoutskloof Wolftrap Red with the pork belly
Roasted pork belly
Thai green curry with chicken
Some managed dessert but not us. This is a chocolate brownie with vanilla ice
cream
On the road back into Franschhoek, we passed this disaster – Oh dear, someone needs parking lessons!
